Answer:

14 did not finish under 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total number of competitors = 35

% who finish under 4 hours = 60%

Formula

Those who did not = 35 - 60%*35

Solution

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35 * 60%

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35*60/100 = 2100/100

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 21

Those who did not = 35 - 35*60/100

Those who did not = 35 - 21

Those who did not = 14

====================

There is another way to do this. Realize that 40% did not finish the race in under 4 hours.

Those who did not finish in under 4 hours = 35*40/100 = 1400 / 100 = 14

There are 3 red pens, 4 blue pens, 2 Blac pens, and 5 green pens in drawer, suppose you choose a pen at random
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. 3/14

2. 2/7

3. 1/7

4. 5/14

5. 11/14

6. 9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

first get the total number of pens

3 red pens + 4 blue pens + 2 black pens + 5 green pens =

14 total number of pens

1. What is the probability that the pen chosen red?

3 red pens out of a total of 14 pens = 3/14

2. What is the probability that the pen chosen is blue?

4 blue pens out of a total of 14 pens = 4/14 -> simplified -> 2/7

3. What is the probability that the pen chosen is black?

2 black pens out of a total of 14 pens = 2/14 -> simplified -> 1/7

4. What is the probability that the pen chosen is green?

5 green pens out of a total of 14 pens = 5/14

5. What is the probability that the pen chosen is NOT red?

of the 3 red pens, 4 blue pens, 2 black pens and 5 green pens

4 blue pens, 2 black pens and 5 green pens are NOT red

4 blue pens + 2 black pens + 5 green pens =

11 total number of pens that are NOT red

11 total number of pens that are NOT red out of a total of 14 pens = 11/14

6. What is the probability that the pen chosen is NOT green?

of the 3 red pens, 4 blue pens, 2 black pens and 5 green pens

the 3 red pens, 4 blue pens, 2 black pens are NOT green

3 red pens + 4 blue pens + 2 black pens =

9 total number of pens that are NOT green

9 total number of pens that are NOT green out of a total of 14 pens = 9/14

What’s the answer to X/2+21=36
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

x/2 + 21 = 36

First we get rid of constants to isolate the variable.

In order to do that we must do the inverse operation.

Inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

-21           -21(subtracting 21 from both sides, whatever we do to the left side we do it to the right side too)

x/2 = 15

inverse property of division is multiplication

x2    x2

X = 30
